When it comes to decorating for the Christmas season many people will accent their bedroom with touches of red and green. They may add a Christmas tree or cover their bed with a holiday quilt.

Today when I went into the garden I noticed that my chrysanthemum plants had flower buds and this made me think of the autumn season. While it may be summer I know that soon this season will be coming to an end and the autumn season will begin, so today I am looking at my bedroom and jotting down decorating ideas.

Update your space with a new poster or print from zazzle. They have hundreds of thousands of pictures for your walls. Honestly, there is something for everyone.

This week when I visited my zazzle store I found that I was invited to submit my flat 5/7, glossy card and invitation designs to the My Groupon Products program on zazzle. For me, this invitation was an honor since I do not design flat cards or invitations. Yes, I have designed flat cards and invitations in the past for customers but never for approval for likes of an organization like Groupon.
